> But the overhead would have to come down dramatically for it to ever beat simply doing the compute in-house and incurring the overhead of managing a physical rack.

A physical rack needs several physical people to look after it. Imagine it going down in the middle of the night while your sysadmin is on a vacation on Hawaii.

And cloud computing is also not expensive. If you don't have a large load, a t4g.micro instance on AWS costs 0.5 cents per hour ($1.2 per day, $438 per year). It will run most small workloads just fine, and you can easily scale it up with a couple of clicks.

Adults lie or worse, they don't even know the truth themselves but they still need to be seen as knowing everything.

Usually, yes.

However, some PCPs / endo will order up A1c as well as glucose challenge, depending on certain factors (eg, family history, BMI, symptoms). If I were you, order up the following:

- A1C
- 12 hour Fasting blood glucose levels
- Two-hour glucose tolerance test: this test will measure blood glucose levels before and after ingestion of 75 g of glucose solution (if the results show blood levels that fall between 140 mg/dL to 199 mg/dL, it is diagnostic of prediabetes.
- A random plasma glucose test

Personally, if you have a family history of diabetes/obesity, you should get checked often. Some providers have been writing rx's of GLP-1's to aid in weight loss, which reduces the risk of developing T2DM.
This comment[1] provides a good explanation on why this analogy is absurd:

> Chats at google by default have 24 hours of chat history. (That is, after 24 hours, the chat history is delelted.) You can opt in to having 30 days of chat history instead. And when under a legal hold, Google continues to delete chats in the 24 hour history mode, but will not delete chats in the 30 day history mode.

> That is, Google's theory here seems to be that if you have a policy to destroy certain letters and memos 24 hours after receiving or creating them, then you don't need to stop doing that and preserve them even if under a court ordered legal hold. But if your policy is to destroy certain documents 30 days after creating them, then you must stop deleting them and retain them if ordered by a court.

> Which is....a.....theory!

> I believe the way Sam Zeloof circumvents the enormous amount of capital needed for a chip fab by relying on modern technology to create 1970’s technology

Yes, exactly.

Old lithographic technology is so crude that you can even use modern high resolution laserjets to print masks (10000 dpi is less than 3 microns).

Even so, 1970s-era CVD, PVD, and plasma etch is still quite complicated, and CMP is impossible (it hadn't even been invented yet). So the devices you can create are significantly integration-constrained.
Most rust cleaner that you buy at the store is HF solution. For example, the one that teen used was 1.5% HF.

Usually you press some kind of source of band button they will toggle through your options. AM/FM, or AM/FM/XM/CD/AUX/CarPlay/etc.

Once you’re on AM, it works just like FM from a user perspective. Just tune to the station you want, or hunt until you hear words or music instead of static.
That's interesting, but how is that any different at all from discussing a topic in person in which it is immediately discarded so long as it is not recorded? Seems identical and it should not be considered concealment in any way, even if it's for "sensitive" meetings, as they could have just as easily been done in person verbally with no recordings. This really feels like authorities overstepping because they want to know things they weren't meant to know and are just personally offended.
> Even worse, there is zero reason why these companies should exist except for "collusion as a service".

That doesn't make a lot of sense.

Take a market where there is 100% price transparency - cars, electronics - are a couple examples.

As a manufacturer I can easily find out exactly what my competitors are charging and change my price at will.

Is that collusion? The market is dependent on transparent pricing.

> Where I live we have signs up all over the place near the mountains that tell you to tune into a specific AM station when flashing for avalanche/weather information.

I live in an area like that as well, and the station broadcasts the same info you see on road signs and web sites. If the lights are flashing it's usually playing "snow tires advised for vehicles..." on loop.

the kind of situations people describe where car AM radio is essential feel like corner cases that involve lack of planning and poor judgment or really bad luck. No cell service, no portable radio in your travel kit, no way to stop and ask anyone, and you can't just turn around when you see a flashing sign? It sounds like the plot of a horror movie.

> A year after GPT-4 set the bar, it's still the best model

Debatable. Many people find Claude Opus superior, and I know I've found it consistently better for challenging coding questions. More importantly, the delta between GPT-4 and everything else is getting smaller and smaller. Llama 3 is basically interchangeable with GPT-4 for a huge number of tasks, despite its smaller size.
> Do you think that should extend to recording some or all meetings at a company?

That depends. Did the court order that to happen? (Like in this situation!)

If so, then yes, the company should follow the lawful order of the court.

And if such an order is unlawful, then they should appeal it, and do what the appeal court orders them to do.
> [...] other algorithms may require the sort of induction one gets with constructive proofs to sufficiently verify. There is an art to this which will lead to style changes in C and a slightly different way of building up functions from pieces that can be trivially model checked.

Is there a book or article that talks more about this? I.e. how to write code in a way that is more amenable to model-checking (bounded or otherwise)?
It matters a great deal. While AM quality sucks, the modulation is more robust than FM and the AM band (specifically as opposed to the modulation) can go much further.
Agreed. It feels like the FAA and related government agencies have a rule set based on now-outdated assumptions about the difficulty and cost of space launches. Even just a couple of decades ago, it was never thought that this number of satellites could practically be launched. Similar to many other problems of tech moving too fast for regulations.
My understanding is that it goes well beyond that. If I recall correctly, as a condition of using their service to show you competitor's prices and industry information, you also had to agree to use their suggested pricing.

Assuming a level playing field. If I have good cash flow from my operating system and office software business, I can make a web browser, and give it away for free, which screws up the market for companies that sell web browser software. no one can compete with that price so a company that only makes web browser software gets screwed. Until such time that a different company with a monopoly in another area is able to fund development of a competing browser which they can give away for free, the market for web browser software was and it's dominated by one free option to the next. Point being, free markets and competition is great, but there isn't always going to be competition because the game is fixed.
I feel like the wind-turbine industry is ripe with possible innovation opportunities. It has now grown to the scale where serious r&d can expect meaningful returns.

Especially in the area of residential-scale turbines. We've seen, with the roll-out of rooftop solar that people with good solar conditions are prepared to generate supplemental electricity. There's an untapped market for those in poor solar, but good wind, areas, or with a desire for both.

I'm not saying it's a silver bullet, but so far the economics of wind at residential level are behind solar.
One of the most aggravating and rather stupid things in my opinion about newer cars, is if you wanted to install a different or new head unit, it has gotten way more complex. I really miss just being able to buy a regular single-DIN or double-DIN radio and with a small amount of work being able to install it. I wish to god manufacturers would stop trying to integrate everything into the console, and have a standard head unit format, so that I could have more easy choice as to what goes in there, especially as the car ages.

I would try to make at least some of the workouts a bit more challenging - you can try pick up running. Or if you're working the stairs machine, do it faster and for longer for at least part of the time. This will not only make it more interesting for you - its also the only way to improve your vO2 max if all you're doing is 3 workouts a week (and a higher v02 max should be your goal is you're thinking about longevity / health).
As for energy levels - I meant in general. After hard workouts I can be quite exhausted for 24 hours sometimes. That's normal. But my sleep is usually higher quality and the day after I'm a bit more vital. My mood is more stabilized etc.

Anyway good luck! I hope you'll take away from this that its OK to change /mix things up and see what works for you.
There’s those pirate broadcasts which are somehow tolerated where the real crazies go.
It just doesn't make sense to me that someone would commit suicide with the idea that people would think that he was murdered by a company you want to expose. That's just a ridiculous idea. Yes it's an idea and a possibility, but yeah it's very very unlikely I would say, so unlikely that it's not worth considering too much. Because it highly probably didn't happen like that, because it doesn't make sense, it doesn't add up. It's not a good theory. Even if it's a possibility.

People that commit suicide is because they stopped caring about their life. They won't have any side goals for their death, they won't care about taking down a company. Especially not if that covers up the truth of them being fed up with this world which would be the only message they would want to leave behind.

If someone really wants to take a company down, they would do stuff for that, not commit suicide with the idea that you might have blamed them for it without having assurance, and with the risk of being remembered as someone who faked their suicide in order to harm a company. It just really doesn't make logical sense to me.

> As I asked elsewhere, please don't be snarky. Sorry if I wasn't clear, I was distinguishing between fundamental human rights and state entitlements. I don't think laws in Finland or New York defines reality in all places and times. If you want to talk about reality, this means that people get a cot in a bunkhouse with a roof over it. These laws dont entitle people to own houses or live in other peoples property.

You might solicit fewer snarky comments by avoiding asinine comparisons between slavery and eviction regulation, and then admonishing people for not having a realistic take.

It would be really nice if the FCC hadn't actively tried to kill low power FM and had promoted more low power AM, in conjunction with the FTC or whomever breaking up the big broadcast monopolies. I think mandating AM receivers should come with a push to significantly democratize parts of the bands so that there's more than just the same old stuff across every frequency.
I don't need exact results. FP8 quantization is almost lossless and even 6-bit quantization is usually acceptable. Can this be combined with quantization?
i am going to have to disagree to an extent. while on the face of it this makes sense. realities are often different.

as a FOSS contributor, making the work of a maintainer easier can mean the difference between my submission being accepted or rejected. if i want to push a change upstream it is therefore in my interest to not rely on the maintainer to do that work. especially not if that maintainer is a volunteer. not every contributor is going to do that, nor should every contributor do that. only those that have sufficient experience to work at the level of the maintainer, but simply are not the designated maintainer because it is not their project.

the same holds true at work. i expect everyone in a team to be familiar with the whole project and be capable of doing the work of the maintainer, at least everyone at senior level. whether they end up doing it or not. having a single person be responsible for all merges is an idea that i do not agree with. among other reasons it causes the designated maintainer to become a gatekeeper preventing others from developing that skill and step up to do that kind of work. whether it is practical for the maintainer to do all the integration then is a matter of their workload.

the suggestion that only the designated maintainer can do a good job at merging is even somewhat patronizing.

on tag vs branch, this seems to me only makes sense if we are developing against a release branch. a development branch often does not have release tags. the "releases" in a development branch are the merges of new feature branches. if each feature is merged on completion then there should not be any work in progress commits anyways. even if rebasing is used, those commits will be pushed all at once, so HEAD is always at a completed feature.

i think that these are simply different approaches to development, and it can't be said that one is better than the other. it comes down to preference. i favor an environment where everyone can step up to contribute to the extent of their experience and knowledge over an environment where my capacity is limited by my role.

being told that i am not capable of doing something because it is not part of my role is not something i want to hear ever.

>All this time, Google falsely told the United States that Google had "put a legal hold in place" that "suspends auto-deletion." Indeed, during the United States' investigation and the discovery phase of this litigation, Google repeatedly misrepresented its document preservation policies, which conveyed the false impression that the company was preserving all custodial chats. Not only did Google unequivocally assert during the investigation that its legal hold suspended auto-deletion, but Google continually failed to disclose—both to the United States and to the Court—its 24-hour auto-deletion policy. Instead, at every turn, Google reaffirmed that it was preserving and searching all potentially relevant written communications.
Right, but I'm not clear, is that actually illegal? I've seen similar policies at many companies.
20 years ago everyone had very many AM radios (car, kitchen radio, alarm clocks, etc). Even today the vast majority of households have at least one AM radio in their car.

Doing potentially illegal business verbally with no written trail is a well-known strategy. It is still concealment if those participating do not tell when interrogated.

Bottom line is that companies should assume that the government has a right to audit their practices at any time for any reason, and avoid intentionally destroying potentially valuable information.
I can't believe that worked.

Industrially (by which I mean how it was done circa 1970), silicon oxide and silicon nitride was etched using a buffered HF solution known as BOE (buffered oxide etchant). The buffer was typically ammonium fluoride; because of the presence of the buffer, the concentration of fluorine ions in solution stays constant even as some of the fluorine attacks the substrate to form e.g. hexafluorosilicic acid. Since the concentration of fluorine stays constant, so does the etch rate.

If you just pull some rust cleaner off the shelf at home depot, the etch rate will crash as the concentration of fluorine ions decreases. That's compounded by the fact that the HF concentration isn't very high in the first place.

As a result it would be very difficult to determine how long your wafer should remain in the etch bath. Underetching could easily cause "opens" in the circuits from unremoved insulator, and overetching and/or undercut can destroy the patterns you're trying to produce. Either way it can ruin the chip.
> We had all the communication in the world during COVID and that did nothing to stop people from acting foolish.

The government has took away our (the taxpayers) right to move for the sake of some taxpayer's life. How on Earth is possible for the taxpayer to act foolishly? It is his life, if he considers a death as not that important thing to cancel some party, whether it can be considered as foolish? My opinion is that a human has to have a right to get dead, no matter how much taxes the government is going to not take.
